At this equestrian competition, Capa turned his camera away from the competitors to capture a spectator who, with his monocle and urbane overcoat, becomes a satirical comment on the upper crust nature of the event. The back of this print bears the stamp of a New York photo agency, one of a number of businesses that served as middle men between photographers and the picture magazines and newspapers. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Cleveland Museum of Art, Tom E.
